# Update date

 * Hi there,
 * I’ve been using your plug-in on quite some sites, but they all have one issue:
   the date displayed on the ‘jobs’ page.
 * On this page, a list of vacancies is present, as is a date when this vacancy 
   was posted.
 * This looks great and is a great addition, however when it regards vacancies that
   remain basically open forever, it may look strange that the vacancy hasn’t been
   fulfilled by say a few months.
 * Therefor, I was wondering if it’d be possible to hide the date on at least the
   page that contains [jobpost].
 * Kind regards,
 * Hookie

 * Hello Hookie,
 * You can customize the job templates through SJB templating. You can customize
   the **posted-date.php** template file placed in the plugins’s directory(simple-
   job-board/templates/listing/list-view). For more details, please visit the CONFIGURATIONS&
   TEMPLATING section on the [plugin page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-job-board/).
 * Thanks for writing to us.

 * Hi PT,
 * Thank you dearly for your quick response, it is however to no use at all.
 * As soon as I change, or remove anything in either one of the templates you pointed
   at, the entire site breaks down.
 * So once more:
 * How can I remove the dates from the vacancies on my site?
 * This is important – not only for me, because there are people like me that use
   your plug-in for permanent vacancies.
 * In other words, these are job positions that remain open forever.
 * Therefor, it looks weird when it says ‘posted 1 year ago’ since people might 
   consider the vacancy either irrelevant or assume that the webmaster is lazy and
   doesn’t update his/her website.
 * Please inform me on how to get rid of the posted date and if possible, implement
   a feature to do so in the settings panel – this WILL be of use by many people
   and it will be used, I am quite sure of that.
 * I’m looking forward to your reply,
 * Kind regards,
 * Hookie.

 * Hello,
 * It seems you are not customizing the date template properly that’s why your website
   is broken down.
 * If you don’t have any programming background then we would strongly recommend
   you to take help from any WP expert.
 * Thanks & Regards,

 * That’s quite an insult.
 * Let me ask you once more:
 * How can I remove the dates from the vacancies on my site?
 * Please tell me which file and which line I should edit, so I can edit it. Tried
   everything but it seems impossible.
 * Kind regards,
 * Hookiealo

 * Hello [@hookieoalo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hookieoalo/),
 * To remove Job Published date you can customize the **posted-date.php** template
   file placed in the plugins’s directory(simple-job-board/templates/listing/list-
   view/). You can remove/comment the code between Start Job’s Post Date and End
   Job’s Post Date comments.
 * Since making changes in Plugin Core files is not a good approach, because your
   changes will be lost upon updating plugin. So you can use SJB Templating feature.
 * Please follow below steps to use SJB Templating feature:
    1) Add “simple_job_board”
   folder in your activated theme’s root directory. 2) Copy files inside the templates
   folder from plugins’s directory(/wp-content/plugins/simple-job-board/) and paste
   it to “simple_job_board” folder in your activated theme’s root directory.
 * Note: If you are using Grid View to display your job posts then you have to make
   changes in the posted-date.php template file (simple-job-board/templates/listing/
   grid-view/)
 * Thank you for using our Plugin.
